Time:
12:00 PM

Join CIP for the next edition of the new Plan Canada Webinar Series! Listen as authors from the most recent issue share more insights from their articles and dive deeper into the theme, looking at the points of intersection and difference between their work, and taking members’ questions live.


The Winter 2023 webinar will look at “Retail – A Vital but Increasingly Invisible Land Use.” With planners caught between the evolving nature of retail and other land use planning priorities, this issue of Plan Canada asks how planning policies, regulations, and the way they are implemented keep up with the pace of change.


Each Plan Canada webinar is free for members to attend and can be used toward your Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) requirements. Non-members are also welcome to join for a fee of $30, plus applicable taxes.
